"?"
Lu Lin's request left Chang Hao dumbfounded. Did Lu Lin like Zhou Yuwen? That didn't seem right; the two hadn't interacted much earlier.
"Didn't Zhou Yuwen ask Su Qing to give it to you?" Chang Hao asked, curious rather than imdiately sharing Zhou Yuwen's contact.
"Su Qing fell asleep, and I need to talk to Zhou Yuwen. Can you send it to ?" Lu Lin spoke directly, thinking Chang Hao was also a straightforward person. She didn’t expect him to be so hesitant.
Indeed, Lu Lin's late-night request for Zhou Yuwen's contact had thrown Chang Hao off. He couldn't fathom why she needed to talk to Zhou Yuwen so urgently. Hesitant, he forwarded his conversation with Lu Lin to Zheng Yanyan.
"I told you Lu Lin wouldn't like Li Qiang, but I didn’t expect Zhou Yuwen to be this popular," Chang Hao said sourly.
Recognizing Lu Lin's profile picture, Zheng Yanyan nearly burst out laughing when she saw the screenshot.
"Oh my god!" Her sudden exclamation made the other three girls frown slightly.
"Are you crazy, Zheng Yanyan?" Lu Lin couldn’t help but ask.
"Sorry, sorry," Zheng Yanyan apologized, tears of laughter in her eyes. It was too funny: three out of the four girls in their dorm were interested in Zhou Yuwen. What was it about him that was so captivating?
"Su Qing is really asleep?" Chang Hao asked.
Of course, Su Qing wasn't asleep; she was happily chatting with Zhou Yuwen.
"If she's asking, just give it to her!" Zheng Yanyan loved stirring the pot and could already imagine how entertaining things would get.
"Oh, alright. Poor Li Qiang, though," Chang Hao said, glancing sympathetically at Li Qiang, who was grinning at his phone.
"Still chatting, Li Qiang?"
"No, Lin Lin said she’s going to sleep."
"Then why are you so happy?"
"You wouldn't understand," Li Qiang replied, still smiling foolishly.
Chang Hao sighed, thinking how much better his own situation was with Zheng Yanyan.
"?"
After waiting about five minutes, Lu Lin still hadn't received Zhou Yuwen's contact, making her curious.
Seeing her ssage, Chang Hao finally sent Zhou Yuwen's contact to her. Lu Lin quickly added Zhou Yuwen.
At that ti, Zhou Yuwen had just opened his laptop to write his novel. Despite being a best-seller in his past life, his work was already gaining traction in this world, with over two thousand readers in just a few weeks. Given his hard work and investnt, Zhou Yuwen was confident it would top the charts once published.
He'd invested half of his earnings from the campus card business into buying online promotion services. The effort paid off as the book climbed into the top ten of the new book monthly ticket rankings within a week, drawing the envy of other authors.
Who's this new author with so many votes in such a short ti? people wondered. The buzz attracted more readers, who stayed for the compelling story and relatable characters. Even without the promotion, the book would have been a hit, but the extra push ensured its success.
Around 1 AM, Zhou Yuwen took a break and checked his phone, noticing a friend request from Lu Lin, forwarded by Chang Hao. He accepted it and set his phone aside to freshen up before bed.
anwhile, Chang Hao and Zheng Yanyan continued their chat. They had plenty to talk about, especially Li Qiang and Lu Lin's situation, which could keep them going all night.
"Lu Lin told Li Qiang she was going to sleep," Chang Hao said.
Zheng Yanyan snickered, "She’s not asleep. She's still chatting."
"Poor Li Qiang, trying to do sothing he's not equipped for."
Zheng Yanyan replied to Chang Hao's ssages slowly, taking five to ten minutes between responses because she was browsing the campus forum. She ca across posts like "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Engineering School" and couldn't help but roll her eyes at so of the claims.
"This girl isn't prettier than . If she's the top beauty, then I must be the top beauty of the whole university," she thought, feeling a mix of amusent and irritation.
Chang Hao waited for her response, finally asking, "Yanyan, what are you doing?"
After three minutes, Zheng Yanyan replied, "Browsing the forum. Why?"
"Oh, I thought you were chatting with Zhou Yuwen too," Chang Hao joked.
"You're crazy," Zheng Yanyan rolled her eyes. With three girls already chatting with Zhou Yuwen, she didn’t want to join the competition.
"Heh, just kidding!" Chang Hao sent a grinning emoji.
Finding the conversation dull, Zheng Yanyan said, "I'm going to sleep."
"It's already 1 AM? So soon?" Chang Hao asked, surprised.
His ssage went unanswered. Thinking she had fallen asleep, Chang Hao put down his phone and contentedly closed his eyes, gazing at the ceiling.
anwhile, Zhou Yuwen had just gotten into bed. He had added Lu Lin but didn’t intend to ssage her, assuming she was asleep.
Unexpectedly, a ssage from Lu Lin popped up.
"Are you there?"
Her profile picture was a lancholic long-haired girl in a camisole, exuding a sort of forlorn beauty. Zhou Yuwen wondered what she needed and replied, "Yes."
"Can you lend
2,000 yuan?" she asked.
